We have a list of the current board members here.
The MWG is seeking a volunteer to take over the Financial Chair’s position. This person does not necessarily need to be a member, but they must have the skills this positions requires. Please contact any board member, call or email the office if you are interested in this position.
The Manitoba Arts Council will be taking over the Public Reading Grant Program. See details here.
Please note: we do not currently have any staff members, and the office is open thanks to our volunteers. If you would like to help keep the office available to members, please call or drop an email.

Wednesday: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

*If you are planning to come by the Guild offices, please call first to make sure volunteers haven’t stepped out of the office.

We have successfully gained access to the original MWG website, and have moved it to a Manitoba server. Kudos to the old host, BlackSun hosting in Saskatchewan. Their support staff was great through the whole process, even though they were helping us leave. And big thanks to Rod Salm (https://winnmarketing.ca/), our new host, for giving us an initial price break, plenty of help, and going above and beyond on the long weekend.
Preparations are underway for a completely new site that will be far easier for volunteers and staff to update and keep members informed. We will update the current site as necessary, but please be patient for the full plan. Any new features or enhancements will be added once the new site is launched.
Celebrating the rich history of Manitoba writers during the last century (or so)
We’ve survived our own debt, the computer, the internet, the Kindle, light-emitting diodes, communism, capitalism, two wars in Iraq, the Kardashians and Harry Potter. And we’re celebrating in a way that only writers would: with a Symposium on Manitoba Writing. And an anniversary Cabaret to cap it all off!
